Official Dragon Descriptions

Egg

"This egg has bright orange and green markings."

Hatchling

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It is very brightly colored and loves fruit."

Mature Hatchling

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It is very brightly colored and loves fruit.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing!"

Adult

"Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly-colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates."

Appearance/Basic Anatomy

  • Scales are small, round, and slightly reflective.
  • Horns are made up of a bony core covered in a hard, reflective material.
  • Every tangar has the same number of spots, though they vary slightly in size, shape, and shade of gold.
  • The luster of the horns is determined by the dragon’s health while the outer layer is being laid down.
  • Very light body with many pneumatic spaces in the longer bones.
  • Have long, sharp claws to aid in gripping branches.
  • Tail is somewhat prehensile.
  • Females are larger than males.

Hatchling Behavior

  • Very active and always hungry.
  • Love fruit but attracted to any sweet, brightly colored foods.
  • May steal small, colorful items.
  • Good jumpers, and enjoy climbing tall objects, including people.
  • Personalities range from inquisitive and friendly to shy and flighty.

Adult Behavior

  • They are not social but show no territoriality, peacefully coexisting with any other dragons.
  • Mates are picked based on how shiny the horns are—shinier horns indicate a healthier, stronger individual.
  • The only time they become aggressive is when defending a nest or a mate.
  • Choose a new mate every breeding season but remain loyal to their partner until the eggs hatch.
  • Hatchlings often follow their parents until they reach maturity but no parental care is shown.

Habitat

  • Live in the canopy of warm, dense, humid jungles.
  • Long limbs, neck, and tail make them ill-suited for colder climates.

Diet

  • Primarily herbivorous, feeding mostly on fruits, berries, nuts, leaves, and flowers.
  • Occasionally eat birds, reptiles, or small mammals, especially when breeding.
  • Sometimes eat rocks or clay for additional minerals or to neutralize poisons from their diet.
